Anaerolineaceae is a family of bacteria from the order of
Anaerolineales.[1][4][5][6]
Anaerolineaceae bacteria occur in marine sediments.[7] There are a total of twelve genera in this family, most of which only encompass one species.[8] All known members of the family are Gram-negative and non-motile. They also do not form bacterial spores and are either
mesophilic or
thermophilicobligate anaerobes. It is also known that all species in this family are
chemoheterotrophs.[9]
History
The first species discovered in the family Anaerolineaceae was the species Anaerolinea thermophila, with a report on the matter written by Yuji Sekiguchi et. al. in 2003.[10] It was isolated alongside the bacterial species Caldilinea aerophila, a facultative anaerobe. The discovery of these two specimens prompted the addition of a new subphylum in bacterial taxonomy.[10]
